FC Porto’s basketball team was beaten by UD Oliveirense 89-86 in the quarter-finals of the Hugo dos Santos Cup, and Fernando Sá believes it is time to “quickly start thinking about the next game and work with dedication so that things go better”. “We have been very resilient in the way we have dealt with the difficulties that have come up. I think we responded very well, we managed to level the game with defensive and positional adjustments, but it wasn’t enough,” said the Porto coach after the match played in Gondomar.
